Kwrite's datestamp/timestamp function


In KWrite, you can make a datestamp and timestamp by pressing F7 for a command line and typing "date" therein. I just wondered: is it possible to change the stamp's date/time format, which is mm/dd/yy 24-hour time format? That's fine, but I wish the stamp could include the day of the week. (I use KWrite to keep a text-only personal journal. Any suggestions that I use a different program are welcome but are beside the point.)

I looked through the editor settings options, but found nothing relevant. The settings don't mention the F7 command line and the datestamp/timestamp at all; the only reason I know is because I once asked if there was a way to make one, as in Windows Notepad.

Kwrite uses katepart as the editor. Look at the Kate Handbook in the KDE Help Center. Section 6, "Advanced Editing Tools". What you're looking for is under the title "The Editor Component Command Line".

Look in Settings -> Configure shortcuts.

BTW, this works for me.
Code:
date dddd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss
